Newspaper Page Text6 i V LIZZIE a The New Year has begun. Already there have been all sorts of failures as well as pleasant surprises. Some have started out with the determination to live more unselfishly and nearer out th vine Model, others have put on long 1 faces and said there is no use trying, while others have not given the matter a thought. Every day should be a new beginning and the steps slipped yes terday more than retrieved today. 1 am thankful for that glorious promise "Lo. I am with you always,' and when one rests on such a promise there is no chance to slip very far. Do you H remember the story of Robert Bruce and the ant? Six times, or was it seven? Bruce watched the tiny insect start with the grain of corn, or would we say rye? and fall every time, but at last it succeeded and Bruce tn his hiding place, wearied and discouraged too* heart and himself succeeded. A year should not be any more to us than each time was to the little in 4MBC t* While I do not believe in too much introspection I must say that it la well to search for the cause of our failure and if it is anything that we may remove let us do so. Bat let us bo sure that our failure is really one that counts in God's great plan and not sim ply a falling short of the world’s ideai. Every day we must fight against the tendency to lean more and more on the opinions of the world and less on those we get from God's word. Satan's most insidious weapon is de ceit. He planted it so deep in the heart of our first parents that it has never been entirely uprooted. There come times in every life when to deceive seems easier and more profitable than to teU the truth. But you may be sure that your sins will find you out. Us ually there comes a crisis in our life that calls for all the strength we have in every line of thought and action, then isk when that rotten timber, de ceit. will creak and shiver and per haps spoil it all. New Year’s morning I heard one wom an say. “A happy New Year.’’ to an other. “I don’t know whether it is or not.” was the reply’. ‘‘Yes. it is. Say it is, and Muff the hand'that's pulling the curtain over your eyes,” the first one an- As I walked down the street 1 thought to myself, that is the secret of Mrs. Ber ry’s happy life. She has much less, so fat as the world sees things, to make this a happy New Tear, but she has shed sun shine on every path she has crossed. She is far from her home and her husband, among strangers and trjing to get well, yet there is never a complaint nor even a reminder that she would rather be in some other place. I heard two girls talking about their plans for this year and one of them said that her false pride had cut her out of many things, that she bad been go afraid that people would know how poor she really was she had suffered all sorts of useless pangs. I thought then of a say ing 1 once learned, “False pride is a i Joke, not a cloak-it disgusts qthers without disguising you.” My wort for Wb i.i-B! ji f ill ii hi mi ■ . of that. Every day we see people whose false pride has caused tnem more trouble than all their poverty or ignorance or even the family skeleton. Make up your mind, let this be your main resolution, that you will be honest, that you will not let deceit nor false pride nor jealousy make you lose your self respect. While you hold on to that you are sure to eventually win. You haven't your self respect when you begin to have secret stos, be they so called “white lies’’ or tampering with grosser evils. I beard a young woman say to another, as they walked dewrt the street: “I know I am the biggest liar God lets live.” Why do you no* get straight and quit, was the friend's question. “Well, when you teii one lie the others seem necessities, and the web gets so strong there is do getting out.” "Yes there is away. Why not say to others what you have said to me?” “Oh, I see myself going to that crowd WOULD-BE SUICIDE IS SAVED BY QUARTER METER NEW YORK, Jan. I— ls gas in a “quarter meter” had not became ex , hausted unexpectedly. Frederick Eck ptobably would be dead today instead of recovering from an attempt at self-de struction. Eck wrote a letter to the janitor announcing his intention of sui cide. When the letter was delivered the janitor bur_t open Ecks door and found him unconscious and with ope end of a gas tube in his mouth. Investigation showed that no gas was escaping and - that the supply in the meter had run out. CHAMP CLARK BUSY AT CAMPAiGN_HEADQUARTERS ST LOUIS, Jan. I.—Speaker Champ dark received New Year callers today at the headquarters his friends have opened la furthering their plans to have the speaker receive the Democratic presiden tial nomination. Speaker Clark's friends denied there is a possibility that the speaker will with draw from the race for the presidential nomination. FIRE IN BRONX CAUSES LOSS OF PLANING MILL NEW YORK. Jan. 2.—Fira broke out at I o'clock this morning in a lumber yard in the Bronx at the comer of SOOth street and Webster avenue, and spread with such rapidity that three alarms were turned in and a large number of tenants of frame buildings in the vi cinity were turned out tn their night clothes. The flames were under control at 4 'clock with eight dwelling houses, a planing mill and $75,000 worth of lum ber destroyed. < Frss*. WsliaWs.

Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. THE POTATO PROBLEM I os’t tklak Os say subject more appropriate for th.* beginning of the year than the culti vation of Irish potatoes, or sweet potatoes, for both are so expensive. Why doesn't eotpe girl, er boy, maa or woman see what ean be done with aa acre of land and potatoes properly cultivated. I know that there are plenty of women who live tn the country and yearn after more money than they now have, who could plant an acre la potatoes and get the UMtn-y. Some time ago I read about two ship loads of potatoes coming to this country from Glascow. snd that others would follow. Think of the difference la acreage and population and tell me if you do not think that America should be the one to ship to Scotland? There was a time when Florida ehlped potatoes to th* northern markets. I’d like for some Floridian who really knows, to tell us why there are not acres ’ yet devoted to their cultivation, know that the price is higher now than it used to be. Gero-any prodocea a third of all the potatoes grown tn the world, four hundred baabe|s to the acre to about her average. Wtoo it come? to conservation and a perfect Intensive system some of the old countries have us beaten flat, gut we ne«d sot st ty that vuy. It this conn v there lave only been four times la f''’”'- -**-» that the yield has retched ur passed a hundred bushels per acre. Maine has had a yield of over two hundred bushels four times In forty-five years. This year a farmer InCm county. Minn., produced 423 bnsheie. R. A. Chisholm, at Del Norte. Colo,, has grown 794 bariwls on a measured acre, and a boy In Monteviata. 0010.. In a prise competition gath ered 919 bushels from an acre. As the potato is largely composed of water we can see why the yield In Colorado is so fine. Irrigation makes intensive agriculture poasible. But you must not forget that Maine is not a state In which irrigation prevails to any great extent. There la quite ea good a chance In Georgia nr Florida aa In Maine. The ■outbern farmer must be trifling. I can see no other reason for his lack of success, new land, good climate, and fine opportunities, yet he lets the people cultivating land that has had some sort of crop continuously for cen turies ship bom potatoes manv things that be cannot follow. It s humil iating. I am a true blue southerner, but tnith to mighty. I hope the future will show that the southern farmer will turn over a new leaf in his agriraltpral record and set the nace for the rest of the world to follow wtll plant potatoes this year? amohg the sum-ms Dear Household: I want to tell you and our Household about my birthday party. It comes so near Christina* that I never can rpeml It at home. This year I was In a hospital, not rick, but helping the stek. and I decided that I would give my party for the pleasure of those who could not urna ly enloy such things. There was Mrs Chadwick, who bad been in bed five years; Bessie Supers, who bad been there seven years with spinal trou ble and three others who occupied wheel chairs. 1 decorated my room, took down the bed and stored It in Bessie room, got a cake and had 23 little candles around It, ami had hot chocolate, ehicken salad and sandwiches. Ob. yes, and some delicious borne made candy snd M>me hot fried oysters. I , never saw the funlleat story she could tbfnkWF. If it was about herself, so much the better. Os course, the supper was en joyed and when the cake was cut there was lets of fun over who got the thimble, the dime and the ring. Not one of them had their invitation even a week ahead. I did not think of It myself, so they did not have any presents foe me. bnt when Christmas came I m*t my (resents combined and I shall always keep these things to remi ad me how much pleasure one get out o.’ what we give to others. Sincerely, LOVIBE. THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW YEAR I wish you joy on this New Year day—joy of new beginnings, of renewed faith in things to be. May the spirit of the New Year go with you through al! its daya, and bring you many sjveet surprises, many hopes realised, many dreams come true. If disappointments or sorrows or apparent failures come to make you sad, may you not spepd God s time in mourning, but go on your way rejoicing in his many blessings, counting them over and over like the little child counting stare —al- ways beginning but never ending.

Smoke of Herbs Cures Catarrh A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way and It Costs Nothing to Try. This preparation of herbs, leaves, flowers and berries (containing no to bacco or habit-forming drugs) is either smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or smoking tube, and by drawing the med icated smoke into the mouth and inh al Ing into the lungs or sending it out through the nostrils in a perfectly nat ural way. the worst case of Catarrh can be eradicated. It is not unpleasant to use, and at the same time it is entirely harmless, and can be used by man, woman or child. Just as Catarrh is contracted by breathing cold or dust and germ-laden air, just so this balmy antiseptic smok ing remedy goes to all the affected parts of the air» passages of the head, nose, throat and lungs. ft can readily be seen why the ordinary treatments, such as sprays, ointment, salves, liq uid or tablet medicines fail—they do not and can not reach all the affected parts. If you have catarrh of the nose, throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if you are given to hawking and spitting: this simple yet scientific treatment should cure you. An illustrated book which goes thor oughly into tne whole question jof the cause, cure and prevention of catarrh will, upon request, be sent you by Dr. J, W. Blosser, 51 Walton street, At lanta, Ga.

SOLDIERS DECLARE FOR REPUBLIC 4,000 Troops Mutiny—May Not Affect Peace e Ne- • gotiations PEKING, Jan. 3.—Tbe imperial gov ernment troops stationed at Chin Wang Tao, the treaty port on the Gulf of Liao Tang, who number about 4,000, have no tified the foreign legations in Peking that they desire the formation of a re public. They are acting in co-operation with the imperial government troops sta tioned at Lanchow, who were yesterday reported to have declared in favor of a republic, and to have elected Wang Wie Tze their leader, at the same time declaring their intention of marching on Peking. In government circles the Incident is not .considered likely to affect the progress of the negotiations between the imperial government and the rebels. Outside of Peking, Lanchow and Chin Wang Tao are the two principal' mili tary centers. The imperial troops sta tioned there are divided into two cate gories, Manchu and Chinese, and it is only the Chinese soldiers who have be come rebelious. Their action in declar ing for a republic has, however, caused considerable anxiety to the court, as it was thought that the Chinese troops also would remain loyal. The complications brought about by their mutiny are the more disturbing to the c<»urt because the empress dow uger, in handing over 32,000,000 from her private treasury to Premier Yuan Shi Kai, relied on these troops to march, together with the Manchus, against the revolutionists in the south and to crush the rebellion.
